Default Go see it!

Guys...I know there is a lot of discussion about the 2010 GT...I (like many) have been thinking seriously about getting one...I just got back from seeing my first ones in person...

If you haven't yet seen one in person....GO SEE IT! Pictures do not do this car justice (even though I personally think the pics are GREAT of this car).

In person, this car is incredible. The lines, the front, the "hips" and yes...the rear...all incredible. Then, you get in...and its even better.

Wow...I am more excited then ever to join the mustang crowd. The 10's are awesome. I'm sure there are people who may not like the look...and that's cool. But to those who own one already, congrats! And if you are on the fence but haven't seen one in person yet...go see one...you'll be in love.

the 2010's are really cool looking except for the tail lights, i dont care about the red white color combo, but the way the bottom on them arcs up makes them look less bold.....everything else is cool

I think they look a lot better in person also. They dont seem as cheap inside as the previous models. Very nice.

The interior is nice, and the few changes to the body (hood) are also nice, but it stops there. The *** is just as ugly if not uglier in person. I have seen one, and drove it, but no matter what IMO the *** ruins the entire car.

I’m waiting to see if they change the back end in 11. Can’t imagine they will keep it.

When I saw one in person it did less for me than pictures. The back end is hideous and I cannot stand the dinner plate Trunk fake gas cap.

My first sight of the '10 was a couple of months ago when I came up behind one on the highway. (Must have been a dealer in the car.) Honestly, I didn't recognize it as a Mustang until I got close enough to read the logo. Like everyone else here, I just don't care for the rear end of the car. I like '10 in profile, though still prefer the overall look of the S197. The whole attitude of the '10 just seems smoother, less aggressive, less a muscle car. It just doesn't scream out "Mustang" to me. The biggest improvement is to the interior. I love everything about it except the odd mixture of rectangular and round vent covers.

Really I can't see them changing it, did they change the 05-09 at all, no.
I started out not liking the rear, but it is growing on me.

I should add that all the 10 Mustangs are in the back of my dealer’s lot and not in the front rows like 05 to 09 Mustangs were. It’s like they are hiding them back there. What’s up with that? The next time I’m over there I ask them why the keep them out back.
